Weekend Round-Up A Trip To Cuba, Finding The Perfect Watch, And The World's Most Beautiful Library

Last week we kicked off Weekend Round-Up, and we're back with more (as promised). Normally this will come out on Saturday, but with all of yesterday's auction news (including this crazy FP Journe becoming the most expensive wristwatch ever by an independent watchmaker) we decided to hold off until today. But, without further delay, here are a few of our favorite stories from around the internet this week to savor with your Sunday morning coffee.

Michael Williams is one stylish guy. Here he starts off talking about his own watch obsessions (which include an old Hamilton and a treasured Reverso) before profiling Facebook's executive creative director and the founder and designer of Yuketeen and Monitaly to get their takes on what makes a meaningful watch.

It's easy to forget how many different typefaces we all encounter on a day to day basis, but none is more ever-present than Helvetica. After decades of using the iconic Swiss font, IBM is trying to craft one that suits its own identity and a different worldview, but it turns out that's not as easy as it sounds.

Considered one of the greatest collections of impressionist and early modern art in the world, the Barnes Collection has also been one of the least publicly accessible. For the first time ever, you can now enjoy these high resolution images online.
